Spiritual Communion

A few people have said how much they miss their Communion, so here is a short service to unite with the priests in various parts of the world who are still able to celebrate the Eucharist.

WELCOME Christ within this special time of prayer
Lord Jesus I welcome you with all my heart. May your grace and peace be with me and with all my brothers and sisters.
Briefly examine your conscience and pray for Christ’s forgiveness
and welcome his healing grace

Lord you brought healing and wholeness Lord have mercy

Lord Jesus you give light to those in darkness Christ have mercy

Lord Jesus you hold us up in prayer before the God and Father of us all Lord have mercy

May the Lord cleanse and deliver me from all evil and bring me to the peace of his glorious Kingdom
Listen to God’s living Word
Choose a passage from the Gospels and read & think over.    eg John 15 v 9-11 or John 14 v27
In response to the Gospel make an act of Faith
Lord, I believe and trust in you    I seek to surrender myself to your will in communion with my brothers and sisters in Christ.
Give thanks for the times you have received Holy Communion and for Christ’s continued sacramental presence in our church
and say:    JESUS MY LORD I THEE ADORE    O HELP ME LOVE AND SERVE YOU MORE AND MORE

Final Prayer
       May the Cross of Christ go before me        the powerful love of the Risen Christ surround me The Saints of God pray with me To God be the Glory: Father Son and Holy Spirit Now and for evermore. AMEN
